Kidney stones question?

My Mainecoon cat has been diagnosed with kidney stones. I was hoping
to get some feedback from other cat owners who have expierienced this.
What treatment did you seek? Was surgery involved? A change in diet?
My vet says he is a time bomb waiting to explode. He said there is
really nothing he can do. Also maybe some links to websites to do some
research.
Thanks in advance

Hi I have a Maine Coon cat as well she's 13 yrs old and she just got diagnosed with Kidney stones. I'm still trying to gather as much info as possible to figure out how I'm going to help her deal with this. maybe we can swap info?

I've also been told there is nothing we can do because the only vets that will treat her are in the States (we live in Canada) and that it will be VERY expensive.

I don't have experience with that area myself. You might try posting
this request to rec.pets.cats.anecdotes as well - I believe there are
more regular posters there, so you might have a better chance of finding
someone with experience with kitties with kidney stones.
